Paper Towns

06/11/2009

One of the fun things about this book is the fact that it has two covers! In Paper Towns, Q really believes he knows everything there is to know about the fabulously awesome Margo Roth Spiegelman but finds that sometimes there is a lot more to a person than what we see. John Green, the author of Paper Towns asked that two covers be made of his book to show two of the ways that people see and label Margo. One cover is happy the other is sad and serious. Some say it says something about OUR personalities when we choose one cover over the other! So, which is your favorite? You can see both covers here http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/imageviewer.asp?ean=9780525478188&MICTID=38

Quentin or “Q” as his friends call him has known the amazing and perfect Margo Roth Spiegelman since he was two and has had a bit of a crush on her most of that time. She lives just next door and while they used to be good friends, now that they are in high school they aren’t exactly in the same circles. Q thinks he knows everything there is to know about her, but does he really know her at all? Just a month before high school graduation, Margo enlists Q’s help to pull a fabulous prank and then just disappears. Q is desperate to find her and begins following the clues that Margo has left for him. Will he be able to find her or is she gone forever?
